No PVC, no meeting! Lagos APC draws line ahead of council elections

In a bold move to enforce political participation, the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos has declared that members without a Permanent Voter Card (PVC) will no longer be allowed to attend ward and local government meetings.

The directive, delivered by Lagos APC Chairman Pastor Cornelius Ojelabi, signals the party’s determination to ensure every supporter is election-ready ahead of the forthcoming local government polls.

For many APC loyalists, party meetings have long been a space for camaraderie, debate, and strategizing. But now, those without a PVC—often waved like a badge of honor—may find themselves locked out. The message is clear: No voter card, no seat at the table.
